Beautiful. There's quite a few artists from Eastern and Southeastern Europe who seemingly effortless combine realistic imagery with a stylized approach, and achieve something otherworldly. I wonder if this some kind of Byzantine legacy 😉
Fantastic stuff… thanks for sharing!
Absolutely lovely. Thanks Petar. I have seen his work before, probably through you, but to me reminded just starts the love affair all over.
Thanks Petar. Very inspiring.
